SH415 אל אלהי ישׂראל 'êl 'ĕlôhêy yiśrâ'êl (ale el-o-hay' yis-raw-ale‘) refers to the mighty God of Yisrael (El Elohi) El-elohe-israel. This is The land title given to a consecrated spot of territory by Jacob: The Promise land of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Be obedient.. live under the covenant and all will go well with you.
Rain Plentiful crops Plentiful life for self and children Drive out enemies in the land All contingent on whether you desire to live under the Blessings or the Curses (verses 26-28).
Deuteronomy 7:11-18 (KJV) Torah blessings by two witnesses in today’s text …..and Torah curses are evident by the examples of the way the Israelites lived! God provides for His children. They will be Kept and Blessed under Abba’s tallit…under His Wings. They shall be blessed amongst all people. They are a people called by His Name
Christ….Christians are called by the Name of Christ and Christians are to be Christ-like. But, what about a God called Hebrews……Jews …….where is the connection?
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. "Turn from their wicked ways" ....a Hebrew idiom for REPENT.. Note, the blessings of repentance is to heal the land.
SH3478 ישׂראל yiśrâ'êl yis-raw-ale‘ Yisrael, a symbolical name of Jacob in the Spirit; also (typically) of his posterity: - Israel. The word Name, Israel, means God will rule; ruling with God; prevails along with God ; he will rule as God’ agent; contender, prince or soldier of God; …God of Jisrael (El Elohi Jisrael) Yisroel/Holy One of Israel….Yisroel/Rock of Israel God equates Himself with Israel. ….

HAFTORAH
Psalm 1:1-6 (KJV) Blessed is the man who delights in the law of the Lord…. Fruitful ….Prosper. The Lord foreknows your path. He will set before you times of testing. Remember you are a sojourner in this world given instruction …an owner’s manual … to keep you in fellowship with The Creator God.
Psalm 66:18 (KJV) 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Matthew 5:1-12 (KJV). The Beatitudes
Overview: How do you inherit the Kingdom of God?
become a Martyrs. be Righteousness in white linen. as Children (Matthew 19:14 ) be the humble/meek of the earth be a Peacemakers Restore your broken-heartedness by confession and repentance..
Poor in spirit ….Being poor in spirit is to lack pride, no pride-fullness. Speaks to …humility…… be humble......A Spiritual Poverty of pride. Poor in Pride /rich in humility. No self-reliance or self-importance Have Faith…believe… Call on God not your own resources (intelligence, talent, ability). You must stay Christ-centered not self-centered. …and have abundant life by calling on Jesus in Repentance (Mat. 4:17) Don’t corrupt your heart with the world.
Those who mourn
James 4:8-10 (KJV) 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
We mourn when seek repentance from sin. The mournful (“brokenhearted”) are out of fellowship with God. They are afflicted by sin and weep as they recognize sin and repent unto righteousness. Our sins separate us from God’s fellowship. God cannot look upon sin…He is Holy. Be restored to the fullness of God’s Kingdom. How do we repair our mournful state and return in perfect fellowship with Abba? Show love… “If you love Me keep My Commandments.” That’s fellowship folks!! How do we draw near to God?
8 R's
Recognize sin Responsible (confess) Repent Renounce Release it Rejoice (Glory to God) Resist Resourceful … Help someone else who is mournful
The Meek..... Not in the sense of weakness.......Meek in that, we yield (submit) to Abba’s theocracy. We trust the Father completely by giving up self-assertiveness and self-interest without disputing or resisting. A “gentleness in spirit” allowing God to provide and defend us…subject to God’s will not human will....Trust Abba completely.
Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness Hunger and thirst is the normal instinct of our physical body for sustenance/survival. Spiritual hunger and thirst is an inner longing to satisfy our spiritual needs to be in fellowship with our Creator. The righteous shall see the Face of God. Be dead to sin. Perusing righteousness means that we value our relationship with God more than that of the world. Replace selfishness with the Fruits of the Spirit…love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self control. Be a Tzadik… be Christ like
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Romans 6:11-12 (KJV) 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV)13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
The Mericful Matthew 5:7 (KJV)7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. James 2:13 (KJV)13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
Peacemakers.....Non-argumentive....Good listeners....Non-self-righteous....Empathy....Genuine concern ...and exhortation.
Persecuted in My Name
Matthew 24:9-10 KJV Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. (10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Pure of Heart ….THE BRIDE

8-16-08 (15 Av 5768)	Torah Study #46	Va’etchanan “And I besought”
Torah Readings: Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11
Topic: “And I besought”.. I beseech.. I employ, I earnestly plea to you through my Love letters. The Roots of Christianity: …The Vine…The Branch.. The netzer…This root provides sustenance for you to bear Fruit…..
You are “chosen” by Abba and put into His and Yeshua Jesus’ Hand.
Lessons:
TORAH
Deuteronomy 3:23-28 (KJV) From the Foundations, Israel was God’s choice ….. That choice was not made by the Israelites. They were the smallest of all nations!
How did you become a Believer? Did God choose you?
John 6:44 (KJV) 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.
Moses was not allowed to enter the Promise Land because of his disobedience. God's judgments are absolute. But by Faith Moses knew that God would not leave nor forsake him. His Promise Land was the Olam Haba.
Deuteronomy 3:24-4:1-14 (KJV) Moses reviews God's greatest provision for their survival, namely, His statutes and judgments (Torah) and Commandments.
Judgments SH 4941 מִשְׁפָּט [mishpat /mish•pawt] Statutes SH 2706 חֹק [choq /khoke] Law SH8451 תּרה ( תּורה) (tôrâh) 10 Commandments .. SH 1697 דָּבָר [dabar /daw•baw]
Why 613 Instructions ? (603 +10) = 613!!
Deuteronomy 4:5-6 (KJV) 5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Four times (neon light) Abba states the reason why He gave them 613 Instructions (Torah)! (In 4 verses 4:1,5,8,14).
“I Besought” ..I plead with you by my love letters Torah’s 4 witnesses:
1. …for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations (V.6) 2. That you may be instructed by Your God (v. 5) 3. ..to be a great nation ( v. 8) 4. And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. ( v.14)
Just as they were, so are you a Covenant People!..... You are under the Blood Covenant which requires repentance for sin(s) committed after you have been Justified by Christ's Blood.

TANACH
Jeremiah 1:1-19 (KJV) Who was known since the Foundations?....WHO??..Jeremiah!!
How about us?
Jeremiah!! ... God is saying .... it is not how vocal you are…. how loud you can shout; how many deeds you have done…. But He, The Almighty God, shall be with you as you serve the living God in your commission.
“I am with thee”….. ABBA shall provide.
…“a rod of an almond tree”…? I give life through Jesus.
A pot facing north? …. Turmoil is to come upon Israel from the Russian-Islamic axis. Why the Northern boiling pot? ….Because of Israel's wickedness/ forsakenness/ idolatry ….Covenant –breakers (Idolatry & disobedience).
Heed to these examples ..... least you also fall from the Covenant.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
JOHN 15:1-8 (KJV) The fifteenth letter in Hebrew alefbet is the samech which symbolizes– Support, Protection, Foundation… see if you can find that message in today's lession. V.1 I AM – Exodus 3:13...Yeshua Jesus is The Burning Bush. V.2 …Christians beareth not fruit…God will purge!
Hebrews 6:4-8 (KJV)4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them byb whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
V. 3 Wash in the word V.4 Abide by staying in the word ...V.6 If a man abide not in me… he does not know YESHUA JESUS as his Savior..... V.7 If ye abide in me…Have a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST - 1st John 3:22-24
1 John 3:22-24 (KJV) And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
JOHN 15:9-17 (KJV) V.11 Christ's joy remain and is full in us.-
Isaiah 56:6-7 (KJV) Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
V.16 predestination .....John 15:16 (KJV)16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, Isaiah is a miniature Bible … 66 Books by 40 Authors While Isaiah is 1 Author & 66 Chapters. (Example Genesis= Isaiah chapter 1…etc so that John as 43rd book of Bible = Isaiah 43)
Isaiah43:10 (KJV) Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Isaiah 43:21 (KJV) 21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Ephesians 1:4-5 (KJV)4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:5 (KJV) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
John 15:18-27 (KJV) V.22 There is no cloak, for YESHUA JESUS is the final atonement. He brings light and life and you cannot hide in darkness. All is revealed!
V.25 Jesus was hated and mocked, and pierce for us. Where is it written? (Psalm 35:19, 69:4: Isaiah 53:3-5)
V.27 …Bear witness…Yeshua Jesus has been with us from the beginning? Isaiah43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

8-09-08 (8 Av 5768)	Torah Study #45			Devarim “Words”
Torah Readings: Deuteronomy 1:1-3:32
Topic: God’s signature: Authentication by 2 witnesses
His WORD is Truth. Acts 17:11
Lessons:
TORAH
Deuteronomy 1:1-18 (KJV) Moses is reminiscing about their travels on the east side of the Jordan on Mt. Nebo across from Jericho…A short journey of 11 days but prolonged to 40 years by their unbelief. We see prophecy fulfillment in the multiplication of the “seed.” Moses reminds the Israelites about dispensing honest judgment without partiality.
Deuteronomy is a Book of Remembrances…a 2nd witness account of the Exodus. Other examples of 2 witnesses: Manifest as traditional Hebrew thought through Chiastic Hebrew Poetry (Hebrew parallelism). Creation's 2 witnesses seen in Genesis Chapter 1 & 2 as written by Moses vs.. documentary hypothesis (JEPD). 2 Raptured OT Saints (Enoch & Elijah). 2/12 spies with good report 2 spies sent into Jericho. the 2 witnesses of Revelation.
Important application of Torah Scripture in 1st Chapter of each Book! Genesis….Bara…Creative power of the WORD Exodus.. Establishing a “covenant” people. Leviticus …The Burnt offering ..a sacrifice completely given ... just as we give ourselves today (Romans 12:1). Numbers .. Defining the nation of Israel & revealing the Cross. Deuteronomy … A summary of Israel’s wanderings. Introduces God’s signature. His authentication by 2 witnesses ..His WORD is Truth.
Now let us examine the 5 Books of Moses in reference to Israel, Yeshua and the Church
Torah Application to Israel Genesis: Genealogy Adam/Noah/Abraham/Israel-us. Exodus.. A mandate to be a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation (still a mandate). Leviticus …Worshiping Almighty God through a Levitical worship system (Priests/Tabernacle/Temple). Numbers .. Establishing tribes of Israel. Deuteronomy … Unbelief.. 40 years of trials and testing.
Torah Application to Yeshua Jesus Genesis…. Yeshua Jesus the Creator… The Pre-incarnate Elohim (John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16).
Jesus being revealed as prophetic shadows
Exodus.. A prophet establishes the House of Jacob …assembling the tribes under Judah…prophetic of The Lion from tribe of Judah. Leviticus ….Spotless male sacrifices ("The Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world." Numbers .. Jesus is hidden in Tanach wanderings as salvation (Yeshua), the rock, the manna, the living water........... Deuteronomy …. Prophetic of both Comings of Christ as told by Moses. 1st as rock, manna, servant (Messiah ben Joseph). 2nd as preparing Joshua for entering into the Promise Land (Messiah ben David).
Torah Application to Church (five-fold Ministry) Genesis…. an Apostle …(History of Beginnings). Exodus.. a Prophet.. (Moses heard God, doer, walker). Leviticus …. an Evangelism [feet carry Good news Gospel and Torah]. Numbers .. a Pastor (combating unbelief; establishing the gifts and calling of believers). Deuteronomy ... a Teacher.. (God’s Word by repetition).


TANACH
Joshua 2:1-11 (KJV) 12 witnesses didn’t work-out at Kadesh-barnea so Joshua sends only 2 witnesses into Jericho. The whole of Canaan was aware of God’s awesome power. Abba will deliver His remnant people.
Isaiah 1:16-20 (KJV)16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieveh the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Revelation 11:3-13 (KJV) 1260 days?? 1260/360 =3 ½ years = 3.5 X12 =42 months. WOW ... note the year is shortened to 360 days in a year!! We are on God’s clock!
			Revelation 11:3 (KJV)3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Who are these 2 witnesses…of verse 4??????
Revelation 11:4 (KJV) 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth (Zechariah 4:1-7 (KJV).
			Zechariah 4:2-3 (KJV)2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
Revelation 11:6 (KJV) 6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Who had this power….Elijah and Moses….
		2 witnesses of Transfiguration??
Are they the 2 Olive trees?!! Elijah is attendant for Bridegroom and Moses is attendant for Bride at Messiah’s wedding.
WHAT IS ELIJAH'S OTHER ROLE??
Malachi 4:5-6 (KJV) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
The hearts of those that receive Elijah will be the Overcomers who have oil in their lamps!!
Isaiah 1:9 (KJV) "Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah." Abba is addressing today's remnant ..... A remnant target population for this end-of-days Spirit of Elijah to bring restoration of the Family of God and the empowering Gifts of The Holy Spirit to God's people of all tongues, nationality and countries.
Isaiah 1:3 (KJV) "The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib:" ………The sheep know the Good Shepherd’s Words (Devarim) ..They know His Voice.
Overcomers will harken unto the Words (Devarim) of Torah.

6-2-08 (1 Av 5768)	Torah Study #44	Massei “Journeys”
Torah Readings: Numbers 33:1-36:13
Topic: God is our Protector for we have an eternal destiny. The broad pathway can narrow by Torah study, being a schoolmaster pointing to Yeshua Jesus. Abba lights our path by His Commandments.
© 2008 ChristArt, Inc.
His Commandments: ... Their purpose and application: Keeping the Believers on their journey to receive the Kingdom Promises.
The Almighty God gives His WORD, as the Bridegroom, to prepare us. Yes, Torah gives Yeshua Jesus' instructions for His Bride’s health and well being. God is our Protector. The spotless Bride will be spared of His wrath.
Lessons:
TORAH
The Journey
Jesus begins His Journey...........Forty days after His Resurrection, Jesus was with His small group of disciples on the Mount of Olives. At this time they expressed concern over the restoration of Israel ……as they had thought, and expected Him to do this prior to His crucifixion…..So they were disappointed and ask. ….Is not this Thine purpose??
Acts 1:6 (KJV) 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? Acts 1:7 (KJV) 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 1:8 (KJV) 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses (My Ambassadors) unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (mine) Acts 1:9-11 (KJV) 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
He left with a remnant of Believers watching from the Mount of Olives….!!!!.. A remnant?????How shall He return for His Spotless Bride (A remnant of Overcomers)?? She is off with Bridegroom to a Jewish wedding! The Bride goes to the Mansion prepared for her.
He shall return for a faithful remnant in “like-manner.” The Faithful are covered by The Blood of Jesus and walk in obedience to God’s commandments.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV)16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 1 Thessalonians 4:16b-17 (KJV)and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Our long journey begins with the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in all things.
Abba’s Commandments
1 John 2:1-6 (KJV) 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Numbers 33:50-56 (KJV) Abba gives simple instruction to cleanse the land. God means what He says and says what He means.. ….and so it shall be. Keep His Commandments and serve Him by living in humility, with love and forgiveness for one another. Stay away from idols. Destroy the high places.
Numbers 33:56 (KJV)56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
Luke 9:23 (KJV) 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Humility ..avoid the leaven of pride. Last week, we observed how God used a plague and the sword to surgically amputated leaven from the Camp of Israel to preserve His new Bride. Galatians 5:9 (KJV) A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
The first 4 Commandments reverence Almighty God, for we are to love, honor and obey Him, and keep His Sabbath Rest as a holy convocation….Have no Idols. Have no other god(s). Keep His Name Holy.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.

TANACH
Ezekiel 8:3-18 (KJV) We see an apostate priesthood, elders, women and the whole of the Temple dwellers. Ezekiel describes 4 abominations each worse the the former.
An Idol that he calls "image of jealously" ..perhaps an idol of fertility? Secret meetings of elders with unclean animals amidst a chamber of smoke. Believing they could hide their evil ways from God. Women weeping for the sun god Tammuz of Babylon. "between the porch and the alter" were 25 men worshiping the east rising sun.
Ezekiel 8:18 (KJV)18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
2 Corinthians 6:14b-16 (KJV) 14 …….for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 2:20-21 (KJV) 20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
What are your Idols? Look at your checkbook/Master Card bill? ..Stuff Look at your home for graven images of other gods?...Trinkets/gifts/native cultural deities. Look at your body? Gothic, marred/pierced/spiked hair …Are you God’s Temple? Look at your loved ones and friends? ...Have you made them into idols?
Remember! ..Our God is a jealous God…You are the Temple of God!

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV) Keep that purity of Salt so that your Light might shine
Matthew 5:17-20 (KJV) The Law is God’s WORD (JESUS). The law is immutable (unchangeable)
1 John 2:1-11 (KJV) The Believer is given assurance. Exhort one another in Brotherly. Walk not in darkness. Keep My Commandments.
1 John 3: 18-24 (KJV) Keep Truth in your heart. then you heart can condemn you. Let the Holy Spirit dwell within thee Temple of your heart.
1 John 3:23 (KJV) 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
Are you solely under Grace, and have you reserved God’s Commandments for the Jews? Do you follow God’s Commandments to show your love for Jesus and the Father? Do you follow God’s Commandments out of legalism?
Keep in fellowship with Abba…prepare yourself as the virgin Bride.
The Almighty Father is shaking everything that can be shaken.

7-26-08 (23 Tamuz 5768)	Torah Study #43		Matot “Tribes”
Torah Readings: Numbers 30:2-32:42
Topic: Vengeance is mine says the Lord. Do not live in sin. Believers come out of Midian...repent and be in fellowship with your Creator.
God is our Protector. His Hand never leaves His children when we stay in a covenant relationship.
Lessons:
TORAH
God uses His Creation to express His Judgment and His Wrath. God is jealous for His “chosen people” These are examples of God's Wrath in judgment.
Noah’s Flood….Sodom-Gomorrah By Assyria…. Northern Kingdom punished. By Babylon & Rome …. Southern Kingdom (Judah) punished.
Joshua 24:19-22 (KJV) “19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.”
God is jealous for His “chosen people” He did avenges Balaam’s folly and He came against Israel’s Midianite enemies.
Who are the Midianites and what is their ancestry? Let us explore their background.
The table shows the wives of Abraham and the Children they bore him.		Midian was the 4th son from Kenturah. The Midianites of Moses' day dwell on the east side of the Jordan river.
Abraham sent his sons by Keturah to live in the east, far from his son Isaac. In Bible history, Midian was where Moses spent the 40 years between the time that he fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian. Midian's descendants, the Midianites, settled in the territory east of the Jordan and also much of the area east of the Dead Sea (later occupied by Ammonites, Moabites and Edomites), and southward through the desert wilderness of the Arabah. During the time of the Exodus, their territory apparently also included portions of the Sinai Peninsula. They dominated this territory from roughly the twelfth through the tenth centuries BCE.
In our last Torah reading, the Midianite women slithered into the ranks of those westward flanking tribes of Israel camped on the side bearing the Jordan river direction. They were encamped in their Cross formation, according to God's instructions in Numbers 1:20-43 and Number 2:1-32. These Midianite women caused Israelite men to enter into fornication adultery, idolatry and disobedience of Torah. God stopped the spread of this idolatry and disobedience within the camp with the sword and a plague..... a "surgical-like" amputation of leaven to preserve the the Body. Listed below is a comparison between the 2 census---note the leaven (shown in red) was mainly in the tribes of Rubin (man). Also effected was members under the banner of Judah (lion), Ephraim (ox) and Dan (eagle).
		The red symbol is the site of surgery. The tribes are encamped pointing southward near MT. Nebo. They are always led and spearheaded under the leadership of the banner of Judah (lion)
Numbers 31:1-12 (KJV) God is jealous for Israel and avenges the evil of the Midianites and the dirty work of the soothsayer, Balaam.
Numbers 31:8 (KJV) 8 And they slew the kings of Midian, …. :(and) Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

TANACH
Joshua 10:8-14 (KJV) The battle is The Lord’s. He shall confuse ("discomfited") and defeat the enemies of Israel when they are walking in His Torah ways.
Verse 8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.”
WOW....supernatural events that only God can do as He transcends time and space and holds the creation in in His Hand. Joshua 10:13-14 (KJV)13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasherb? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
The battle is The Lord’s. Turn all you concerns over to Him. Put them at the foot of the Cross…. Disengage yourself from all strife and contention. Vengeance is mine says the Lord. Your victory is through Him.
Judges 4:3-16 (KJV) God uses a woman to deliver Israel. Judges 4:4 (KJV) 4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
God is Israel protector.
Judges 4:14 (KJV)14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee?
God can use any of us to do His will by His Power (The HOLY SPIRIT). God may use us to even judge ourselves......revealing our sinful nature that by sin recognition we can confess, repent and be restored. We must come out of Midian, separate from the Midianite women and be not in bondage to fornication, idolatry and rebellious disobedience.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Acts 5:1-11 (KJV) Deceive not …..as God’s judgment can be swift.
Be an Overcomer …kept yourself in the Hand of the Father and Jesus’ Hand.
John 17:12 (KJV) 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
God is Israel's Protector.....God is our Protector....God is my Protector.
Isaiah 41:10-11 (KJV) 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strived with thee shall perish.

Topic: Destiny …a free-will choice. Where is the place prepared for You? Only 2 choices??
Ecc 12:14 (KJV) “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil”
What are your Foundations?? Are they built on the Rock and Stone of Truth. .....................................The Truth is God’s Word. Examine for a moment: What is your house built upon? Your Foundations fashions your Eternal destiny!

Matthew 7:24-27 (KJV) 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Numbers 27:12-23 (KJV) The role of agents sent of the Father …… Moses is to transfer his agency….a divine appointment for Moses. God holds us accountable. Even Moses…… His every action! Every thought! …take captive! (2 Cor. 10:5) Moses found eternal peace with Abba. Moses transferred agency to a new leader. Joshua becomes the anointed agent of the Father to lead the congregation of Israelites. God took him (Num. 27:13, 31:2)….and scriptures tell of his eternal destiny.... Michael fought with Satan over the body of Moses (Jude 1:9), Moses appeared at the Transfiguration (Matt 17:2-3)
When you accept Jesus as your personal Savior, You are transferred authority as a part of the Body of Christ and become an agent of light. You shed the old self…dead to the flesh man. Don’t return to Egypt.
........Destiny ……

Judges 16:23-31 (KJV) What is Samson’s eternal fate?
Not only Samson? What about King Nebuchadnezzar? King Solomon? Judge not …. for as you measure out so shall you be measured (Matthew 7:1-2). Only the good Shepherd knows His flock.
1Cor. 4:5 (KJV) Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. Your eternal destiny only The Father and Jesus know. Jesus’ Judgment eyes can penetrate the hidden places of your soul.
When Jesus left His disciples, His sheep, did He provide another agent to comfort them (us)? Did He transfer agency?
NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Gospel of JOHN Chapter 14 …PREPARING THE BRIDE

John 14:1-3 (KJV) A nun chapter- The symbolic meaning of the Nun is life, downfall and rising again, faithfulness… Verse 1-4 Yeshua is talking to all believers. Note: This chapter is a continuation of the dialog from John chapter 13:36....“Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.”
Verse 3 Rapture (SG#726 Harpazo, Rapturo) ancient Jewish wedding. (1st Thessalonians 4:14-18, Genesis 5:24, Isaiah 57:1, 26:19-21) These clarify the mansion Jesus is building.
John 14:4-11 (KJV) Verse 4 JESUS is answering John 13:36
Verse 6 THE WAY - Name of 1st century church (Acts 9:2, 19:9,23, 22:4, 24:14,22) Verse 6 Not all roads lead to heaven! THE TRUTH - John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 4:23, Ephesians 6:14) Verse 8 John 4:48 “Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.” Verse 10 The reason Yeshua does not speak of himself. He is that prophet who is to come. (Deu. 18:18)
John 14:12-20 (KJV) Verse 13-14 Healing, deliverance, salvation, peace, understanding… to ask and do these things without love it means nothing 1st Corinthians 13 Verse 15 Keep his Commandments; Let us show our love to the Lord Verse 19 Yeshua is alive at the right hand of THE FATHER (HASHEM), AND HIS Word is THE LIVING WORD verse 20 Protection and comfort is to abide in the ALMIGHTY ABBA.
John 14:21-31(KJV) Verse 26 Anything you have learned or remembered, from the WORD of GOD, it is through the breath(HOLY SPIRIT) of GOD. Verse 27 Peace is the HOLY SPIRIT in which YESHUA leaves with you. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Take Home Message In this chapter we saw the expression of the nun--- - Life, downfall and rising again, faithfulness…
GOD has prepared a place for you. GOD prepared a place for you out of his love, mercy, grace. ABBA desires to have a deeper/ intimate relationship with you. It is through GOD’s love we have our salvation JESUS CHRIST. And it is our love for YESHUA that we keep his commandments.

Cut-off your sins with the Truth of the WORD and shake off your idols. Choose today who you will serve. ....have life or death...live in light or darkness. Be Holy as He is Holy.

In today's Torah reading, a pagan "witchdoctor" could only bless the Cross.

TORAH
Numbers 24:14-25 (KJV) Who are these people and places ? Sheth, Moab, Seir, Kenite, Asshur, Chittim, Eber. Are all these the ancient enemies of Israel?
Who are the ancient enemies of Israel?
The Canaanites, Philistines, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greco-Romans. Who are the sons of Ishmael? ..the Muslims of Mecca and most the Islamic world. Who are the sons the Sons Esau? ….Edomites (Indumaeans) of Jordan and Roman emperors Who are the sons of Lot …Moab and Ammon (roots of Jordanians) Jordanians comprise Lot’s offspring, the Arabs and Edomites The Ishmael’s and Esau’s religion is Islam. Islam is a religion of the moon god, Allah.
Are they the current enemies of Israel?
Re-read Numbers 24:14-18 (KJV) These words are significant ….see the Chiastic structure….. note the Hebrew Parallelism. These words are prophetic of the latter days by a vision from Abba to a "soothsayer", who could only bless the children of the Cross and could not curse them.
Verse 17c “…and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.” (Sheth is Seth’s sons… to Noah and table of nations.)… “and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. Verse 20 “ And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever. the nations: the nations that warred against Israel.” Esau’s grandson, Amalek,(Gen 36:12) is Israel most despised ancient enemy by God: Exo. 17:16 KJV “For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generatio”n. They were the first group to attack the new nation Israel in wilderness (Ex. 17:8-16; Deu. 25:17).prophesized to perish (Num. 24:20) “destroy him that remains in City” …Joel 3:17 "So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more." Isa 63:18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. Verse 21-22 “ And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. 22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.”
…..Ashur is 2nt son of Shem (?Assyrians, ? Tiglath-Pilesor III or ? Shalmaneser??) …or who???? Verse 24 (KJV) 24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he (Asher) also shall perish for ever…WOW!! Ashur as the 2nd son of Shem has no geneology??...but Balaam prophetically defines him in verse 24 above. Ashur is the Greek Assyrian Antiochus Epiphanies IV of Selucid dynasty (“god manifest").
Balaam’s prophetic people are of the Islamic countries surrounding Israel. Moab, Amalek (Edom), Arabia (Kenite), Shem (Syria, Libya, Iran (Persia)). They shall be smitten by Messiah Jesus (Star out of Jacob, Jacob’s prophetic Scepter).. In that day … These are end day prophecies as the “Islamic green” horse who with Russia bring into being an axis of evil. The Islam/Gog-Magog coalition (Ezekiel 38) sets-up a power base for Antichrist….
The antichrist is a Greco-Roman not a Muslim. He is portrayed in the prophecies of Daniel 11: 29-45 as the Hellenistic brutal, prideful self-centered, charismatic “Assyrian.” For end time prophecy information note that the Assyrians were the most brutal insensitive people to their captives (Jesus said that a future time will be worse than anything we have never seen!). Mat 24:21 "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
HAFTORAH
Ezekiel 38:1-6 (KJV) The players in Gog-Magog invasion….The Islamic allies with Russia.

Ezekiel 38:16-23 (KJV) A latter day scenario ….V. 23 ...In this time of Tribulation, The Almighty God shall prevail Obadiah 8-15 (KJV) In that day….prophetic of the 7 years of Tribulations. Woe to Edom, Esau, Mt Sier…..and their offspring's. Numbers 24:20 (KJV) 20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever. Psalm 108:6-10 (KJV) 6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. 7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; 9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? Micah 5:10-13 (KJV) Cutting off the sins of Israel
Who are the current enemies of Israel?

Today, the tiny nation of Israel (150 miles long X 75 miles) is the quest of its 21 surrounding hostile Islamic nations and it is infiltrated by a people who are not a people.
There is a peace process being proposed by leaders of the nations for the leaders and people of Israel...."A Road-map to Peace" for the Jews in the Land ..... Today's Jews/Israelites are that prophetic generation of rebirth .... The Daughters of Tzion.
Jeremiah 8:11 KJV For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 1Thessalonians 5:3 KJV For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHASASHA)
What can we do? The Body of Christ must Trust in God. Release (free yourself) from sin. Don’t lose track of who you are. …The Father is preparing the Bride for the Son....Therefore…..WAKE UP!!! Keep ”My Commandments” and be Blessed
The Almighty Father is preparing a Spotless Bride for His Son.

Proverbs 3:1-13 (KJV) …..WAKE UP Romans 13:10-14 (KJV) Love one another and don’t exchange evil for evil. Romans12:9-21 (KJV) “Let love be without dissimulation” ..be without hypocrisy…. Let your love be sincere.

Red heifer was without blemish Numbers 19:2c (KJV) bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke
Requirements for choosing and sacrificing the Red Heifer are found in Mishnah Seder Taharot tractate Parah. Must be pure red as can have no hairs of another color, in perfect health &, never used in work.
